- 78 -Chapter 6 Japanese Ship Reporting System (JASREP)A large number of ships including ore and oil carriers and fishing vessels are constantlynavigation through the peripheral waters of Japan, and marine casualties cauese by these ships arehardly exterminated whereby many of precious human lives and sizable amounts of wealth are lostevery year.To develop effective search and rescue operations in a possible event of unfortunate marinecasualty, it is highly instrumental that the authorities responsible for such activities are fullyprovided with information on the movements of ships.In this connection, the AMVER System, a ship reporting system,has been implemented in theUnited States since 1958, and many ships in distress were successfully rescued through positiveutilization of this system. In the provisions of the International Convention on Maritime Search andRescue, 1979 (SAR Convention), which came into effect on June 22, 1985 with a purpose ofestablishing an international search and rescue system, it was prescribed that a ship reportingsystem should be established.In order to respond to such an international move, Japan Coast Guard commenced a ship positionreporting system form October 1,1985 under the name of "Japanese Ship Reporting System(JASREP)."The JASREP System is almost compatible with the AMVER System of USA where theinformation including sailing plan, positional data, etc., reported from each ship is processed in thecomputer of the JASSREP System for enabling Japan Coast Guard to recognize the ongoingmovement of such a ship.Participation in this system is not compulsory but is voluntary. No charge whatsoever is appliedto all radiotelephonic reports which pass through coastal radio stations designated by Japan CoastGuard. All informations of ship's position and others reported to the Japan Coast Guard will bestrictly kept confidential and protected and will never be used for any purposes other than those forsearch and rescue operations in the event of marine casualty and for the prevention thereof.In a vast expanse of the sea, it is seldom to have other ships in sight although a number of shipsare, in fact, making their respective ways.The effectiveness of the JASREP System serving to develop most reliable search and rescueoperations in a possible event of marine casualty by the close linkage between the Japan CoastGuard and participating ships through the computer system will be much more enhanced byincrease of the number of participating ships.Japan Coast Guard is awaiting for reports form many ships.1.
